Islamic State may have beheaded iconic female Kurdish warrior

A few weeks ago stories about how the Kurds were sending women to fight the Islamic State, because the Islamic State jihadis were afraid that they would not be able to enter Paradise if they were killed by a woman, circulated widely. They were nonsense. This story reflects the grim reality: the Islamic State jihadis are not afraid to confront these female fighters, and do not hesitate to brutalize them.

“Iconic female warrior ‘beheaded’ on front line with ISIL,” 9MSN, October 27, 2014 (thanks to Jack):

A prominent female Kurdish “freedom fighter” may have been executed by beheading, according to unconfirmed reports on social media.

The young woman, who went by the nom du guerre “Rehana” became a symbol of the Kurdish resistance movement when pro-Kurdish journalist Pawan Durani tweeted a picture of her giving a peace sign.

“Rehana has killed more than 100 ISIS terrorists in Kobane,” his tweet read.

There has been no independent verification of the claim, but the photo went viral, receiving more than 5000 retweets.

Female Kurdish fighters of the Yekineyen Parastina Jin (YPJ), or Women Protection Units are involved in the struggle for the key Syrian border town of Kobane.

The town of Kobane has become a crucial battleground in the war against ISIL, representing the gateway to northern Syria and the Turkish border.

This brave and unique force of women are highly trained, committed and fearless, in a fight that represents the survival of an entire people.

They believe that in their fight there is no difference between a man and a woman, but are aware they fight an enemy that routinely rapes the women it captures before butchering them or selling them into slavery.

Now there is speculation that Rehana has been captured or killed, with gruesome photos purporting to show her decapitated body circulating on social media. But the death is unconfirmed.

Rehana, purportedly a member of the YPJ, has became a symbol of a Kurdish militia movement that includes many women, with some estimating that one in three people engaging in the armed defence of Kobane are female….

” but are aware they fight an enemy that routinely rapes the women it captures before butchering them or selling them into slavery”.
This is the guaranteed fate of Kurdish women, regardless of whether they fight on the front line or not.

IS should consider itself very lucky Obama is president. Everyone I know (no politicians) would support the massive use of firepower to put an end to their miserable reign. How many women have to escape to beg for an airstrike on their position before Obama does the right thing?

Look for the mainstream media to pick up this story to highlight the real war on women at the hands of ISIS thugs. The media is interested in women’s struggles against the butchery of Islamic supremisists like they’re interested in exposing all of obama’s lies because they have an ideological commitment to the truth, politics be damned.

a picture remembered.. of a young girl naked and held over a pan below her head; as her neck is opened like a sacrifice and pours out her life into the pan below.. these beasts will surely face the wrath of God short of their repentance , at the White throne Judgement.

Im from Brasil, and i think, that world goverments dont want to direct fight Is,why dont them offer an voluntary campaign to those, who want to fight, to go there like an volunteer international corpse… Even without an wage? Only with weapon, remedy and food suport?

We should add anti-clotting chemicals to pigs blood and and spray it all around IS troops. It’s cheap and we have plenty of it. then bomb the hell out of them. The survivors will spread the word that their fellows met the prophet reeking of pig’s blood.

Another common misconception that needs to be explained about differences of symbols between the west and islamic countries is the “Peace Sign”. In our culture the two rabbit ears made with the fingers is associated with hippies saying “Peace”. In islamic countries it is completely the opposite. The 2 rabbit ear fingers image is a ‘V’ and is meant to symbolize VICTORY. Understanding this puts greater context to the image and what the symbolism was meant to portray to the enemies of the kurdish fighters. She was not asking for peace she was calling for VICTORY against their enemies.
